---

"Redeemers" is new type of raids, which allows up to 8 people in a party. Sea of Reflection is the first one, and only one available at the moment. Unlike other raids, they are functioning on different rule set, from accessibility, through gameplay, to rewards.

♦ Accesibility and rules ♦

Redeemers battles, unlike others, are not available through regular battle board or Quick Battle feature. Instead, there is dedicated NPC for that. Tuathal, a reaper NPC located in north part of Berbhe (left from campfire), allows to create/search/join the Sea of Reflection battle. However, prequisite story (NAME NEEDED) has to be completed first, which involves story of Berbhe finished.

In difference to regular raids - these are restricted weekly rather than daily, and things like VIP, VVIP or Departure License do not affect it. There are 3 sub types:

• Normal - 2 runs
• Guild - 1 run, all members needs to be in the same guild
• Passport - team leader needs Extra Passport: Sea of Reflection to start

Redeemers battles have restriction regarding what consumables and buffs can be carried over. The same NPC keeps a store with some of them, including exclusive HP potions. Following items are white listed:

• Artifacts
• Redeemers HP Potion
• Phoenix Feather
• Party Revival Feather
• Armor Temporary Repair Kit
• Fine Armor Temporary Repair Kit
• Campfire Kit
• Guild Campfire Kit

Anything outside this list, like Premium Bath Soap, won't affect the battle or won't be available.



There are also gameplay affecting rules:

• Only certain things can be carried over (see above)
• Amount of HP potion is limited
• Amount of lives/revives is limited (see debuffs section)
• Some skills are disabled or does not function (1000 SP Stun abilities, Hurk's parry, etc.)

♦ Stats and patterns ♦

Sea of Reflection stats (Neit & Neamhain):

• ATK: 22 000
• DEF: 17 000
• CRIT: 125
• CRES: 90
• HP (Neamhain only): 42 000 000

Therefore base ATK CAP is 27k and CRIT CAP 140.

Cooldown: 8 minutes

♦ Buffs & debuffs ♦

Following effects appear in Sea of Reflection battle:

• Rookie Redeemer

  You can break free of incapacitation up to 3 times due to the Rookie Redeemer effect.

  Applied to characters with less than 5 completed runs. Allows to self-resurrect 3 additional times without Cannot be revived debuff penalty.
  
  
  
• Sluggishness

  Your HP is restored, but you feel momentarily sluggish. All action speed is -50%.

  Applied by Redeemers HP Potion upon usage. Reduces all animations by half. Lasts 3 seconds.
  
  
  
• Cannot be revived

  You cannot be revived for a limited time.

  Applied after player's second and third death. Affected targets cannot be revived for it's duration. Lasts 8 minutes.
  
  
  
• Neamhain's Poison

  You've been infected with Neamhain's poison.
  The SP Gauge decreases over time, and HP restoration is cut in half.

  Usually applied by magic attacks. Takes 10 SP per second and reduces any healing by 50%. Lasts 30 seconds. Avoid healing during it's duration, especially using potions, otherwise they get wasted. Consider using SP skills before your SP gets drained off.
  
  
  
• Striking

  You find yourself drained of energy to the point where you can barely move.
  You cannot restore STA for 5 seconds.

  Usually applied by purple waves. Lasts 5 seconds. This immediately drains stamina to 0 and does so until the debuff expires, effectively preventing from anything but walking. Even stamina buffs like Slashing High are unable to counter this, so don't use them.
  
  
  
• Infection

  You've been infected and cannot move.

  Applied by [SPECIAL] Bend the knee (1 hit KO / OHKO) upon being hit. Once the attack ends, Neamhain perform a special attack to finish off affected targets, leading to certain death.

♦ PHASE 1: Neit ♦

The starting area is transition between Berbhe and another dimension, where the players can make campfire. Upon entering the portal, [CUTSCENE] Introduction is played and the battle begins. The Crab's HP bar is not visible.

• [CUTSCENE] Introduction

  Upon reaching the battlefield, the journey's goal and enemies are presented. Neit, the Avatar of Corruption, is the first enemy the heroes have to face.
  
  Wood from the starting area can be carried over the portal.
  
  

  
  
  
• Relocation

  Neit strikes with his claws into the ground, then bounces off to move either side.
  
  His claws can deal damage on contact, but can be also damaged.
  
  

  
  
  
• Dive

  Neit dives underwater to soon emerge from it at closest side of the battlefield to his target, followed with single sweep from left side.
  
  This attack has a brief restoration animation, allowing players to freely attack both claws for the duration. Claw on right side is persistent for longer amount of time, but the one on left can be used for counterstrike, as it strikes the floor on the edge.
  
  

  
  
  
• Black Hole

  The giant monstrosity creates a dark sphere that will soon follow a target to finally hit the ground, which will then stay for a while to explode after and creating a wave. During that time Neit will use Dive.
  
  Despite the sphere being slow, it's hard to judge it's distance and target, so safety is advised, especially that it can deal damage on direct hit.
  
  

  
  
  
• Claw Strike

  The Crab strikes with either of his claws next to the center, creating a shock wave. Then he takes it out and swings most of the area with his back spikes from the same side. Alternatively he can strike with his claw a second time before taking it out, creating another shock wave with it.
  
  

  
  
  
• Roar

  The giant monstrosity slams his claws respectively on left and right side, creating shock waves each time. After a brief time he roars in front of him, damaging targets within multiple times. Lastly he puts claw on left side, creating yet another shock wave.
  
  

  
  
  
• All-In

  Neit slams with both of his claws around the center, creating shock waves, simultaneously striking with back spikes at the furthest from him. Shortly after he drags everything back towards himself, damaging targets on it's path.
  
  

  
  
  
• Spikes Strike

  Upon preparation, Neit uses his back and side spikes. Back spikes strikes at cued places on horizontal axis in the center - either 2 or 3 back spikes will hit at the same time, each creating a shock wave. Simultaneously he can additionally strike with either or both of his side spikes in close range to himself. These moves are repeated 5 times, last time being longer and always using only 2 back spikes.
  
  Each spike has it's own HP pool, which contributes towards Neit's defeat. Once a spike's HP is depleted, it cannot take further damage - damage dealt on it will not be displayed, and life steal effects will grant only 1 HP per hit.
  
  

♦ PHASE 2 ♦

♦ PHASE 2: Part "A" ♦

Neamhain joins the fight replacing her pupil, starting off with [CUTSCENE] The Goddess Descents.

• [CUTSCENE] The Goddess Descents

  The Avatar gets knocked back and exhausted, which draws his master's attention - Neamhain, the Goddess of Despair. She spreads her wings, takes a flight and rapidly strikes the middle of the battlefield.
  
  During cutscenes players cannot perform any actions or get damaged.
  
  

  
  
  
• The Ring

  Neamhain swings around herself with her lance, performing a melee attack and creating a ring. Next she jumps/flies up for a brief moment, and creates another ring upon landing.
  
  The rings are harmless until they get detonated. Detonations happens as she lands, and then as pulls her lance from the ground. Getting hit by either of them applies Neamhain's Poison.
  
  

  
  
  
• Tracking projectiles

  Neamhain prepares to fly up, creating floating purple projectiles around her, that follows her. While in air, she marks a target and turns to it, launching projectiles to all targets within about 180° degrees in front of her after a brief moment. Next up she strikes nearest target location obtained after marking a player, dealing impact damage and soon after follow up with a ring.
  
  The projectiles are tracking their target, and sometimes they come from unexpected angle. They are fast though and can be avoided easily. The ring gets detonated once she gets her lance off the ground.
  
  

  
  
  
• Dash and Impale

  Neamhain turns or jumps back to dash towards her target, trying to impale it on her lance. This attack can impale multiple players, but only primary target gets additionally hit by a magic attack, which deals extra damage, applies Neamhain's Poison and lastly knocks the player away.
  
  

  
  
  
• Blink and Impale

  Neamhain disappears, (alternatively jumps back first) to reappear in the air shortly after, trying to impale her target during flight. This attack can impale multiple players, throwing them all away.
  
  

  
  
  
• Defense

  In certain moments (usually at the beginning or at the end of an attack) Neamhain has a chance to self-defense herself by crouching and hiding behind her metal wings. Hitting her during the defense will trigger an attack, which will be targeted towards last player to hit her during the gap. Once triggered, she will fly back, mark her target and perform flight impale attack, similar to Blink and Impale, but being a red attack.
  
  

  
  
  
• Turn Sweep

  Neamhain uses her lance to perform a quick melee attack as she turns around.
  
  This pattern is common amongst various humanoid bosses in the game, and like them - can be triggered only during certain conditions.
  
  

  
  
  
• Pirouette with Darts

  The Goddess gets up a little to perform a whirl, damaging targets on her path, and throwing several darts at random locations in front of her. The darts cannot hit player, but will explode soon after impact with the ground.
  
  Getting hit by the dart's explosion deals damage and applies Neamhain's Poison.
  
  

  
  
  
• Darts with Trident Waves

  Neamhain crouches to throw several darts in front of her. Next up she charges a small distance and performs vertical swing from bottom to top, unleashing 3 directed magic waves.
  
  Getting hit by either of the waves deals damage and applies Striking. The last attack has way bigger reach than it looks to.
  
  

  
  
  
• Combo with Waves/Impale

  Neamhain thrusts her lance forward, swings it once or twice, then charges small distance to perform vertical swing, which creates 3 directed magic waves like Darts with Trident Waves pattern. Lastly, there's a high chance she will follow it up with Dash and Impale.
  
  Getting hit by either of the waves deals damage and applies Striking, which leaves the victim vulnerable for incoming impale attack.
  
  

  
  
  
• Full Combo

  Neamhain thrusts her lance forward, swings it twice, charges small distance and performs long range bottom-top sweep.
  
  The last attack has way bigger reach than it looks to.
  
  

  
  
  
• Combo with AOE

  Neamhain thrusts her lance forward, swings it once or twice and then throws dark orbs to the right and to the left from her. Orbs can land on different distances between uses, upon lading they are creating a magic circle, which detonates soon after. Getting hit by the circle applies Neamhain's Poison.
  
  After throwing the orbs, she makes 3 steps forward. First step is a warning, second detonates first area (right from her) and respectively third detonates second area (left from her). After the last step she is immediately ready for another attack.
  
  

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

♦ PHASE 2: Part "B" ♦

Once Neamhain HP drops below x9 (x8 appears), she is replaced by Neit, who uses his patterns from Phase 1, with exclusion for Spikes Strike, but extended by following, starting with [EVENT] Drill.

• [EVENT] Drill

  Neamhain enters the core of Neit, who replaces her in ongoing battle. Once doing so, he strikes with his claw in the middle and then rotates around the battlefield.
  
  Being an "event" move - this will happen only once.
  
  

  
  
  
• March

  Neit dives in the water to emerge from it briefly after, swimming around. He strikes with each claw twice respectively, starting close to him and going further away, eventually slamming the claws at the other end of battlefield. Each attack creates a shock wave. After a moment, he drags everything back.
  
  Be wary: in certain camera location and direction conditions - these waves may visually disappear.
  
  

  
  
  
• Neit's Might (Red AOE)

  The giant monstrosity charges a powerful attack, ramming his claw with all the strength on the right side. During the charge, red circles randomly appear throughout the battlefield, plus after a moment few more nearby players' location. As Neit hits with the claw, an instant shock hits, followed with a shock wave and explosion of all red circles, which hits all targets within them. This attack is repeated, using the other claw.
  
  The circles are red attacks, meaning they have to be literally avoided. His claws can be damaged during the entire pattern.
  
  

  
  
  
• Leaning

  Neit roars in preparation to lean on his claws a moment later. Then he cues where he is going to hit with his spikes, similarly to Spike Strikes. He strikes 3 times, using 1 or 2 spikes at a time. Each spike will create a shock wave. This includes his side spikes.
  
  It's worth staying close to either of the claws and deal damage to both claw and spike if it stroke next to it. Sometimes cued attack areas maybe incorrect or even overlap themselves, as the spikes will still go where they are supposed to. Due to a bug, wave visual effect may disappear, but the "red liquid" effect that follows it remains.
  
  

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

♦ PHASE 2: Part "C" ♦

Neamhain returns after her pupil defeat, which occurs after Phase 2B and Phase 2D, extending the patterns with so called Gates of Babylon. Upon starting the phase, [EVENT] Neamhain Returns is played.

In speak of Gates of Babylon, from my experience I can tell it's likely to trigger very soon after her return to the battle, so don't use your SP abilities before it happens.

• [EVENT] Neamhain Returns

  Neit is knocked back, after which Neamhain emerges from him. She then disappears, reappears in the air shortly after, preparing to strike target location, dealing damage and creating a ring afterwards.
  
  First time it happens (after Phase "2B") she targets the center of the battlefield, second time (after Phase "2D") however random player will be targeted instead.
  
  

  
  
  
• [SPECIAL] Wall of Spears / "Gates of Babylon"

  Neamhain briefly floats and spreads her wings, in preparation and warning to what comes next. She then disappears and shows up at the north part of the battlefield - same direction the Pillar of Corruption is located.
  
  Once that happens, she opens dimensional gate from where duplicates of her lances starts striking in horizontally straight line from her, starting from the middle to the sides, always in fixed pattern. The attack is mirrored, meaning it's exactly the same (but reversed) on both sides. Because the position, timing and patterns are fixed, You can use ground marks (such as stones) for extra guidance. The attack is "red", meaning it has to be literally avoided.
  
  Once it's over, she disappears, shows up in the air and lands at a target location, dealing damage on impact and creating a ring shortly after.
  
  Being a "special" attack, it can happen only once per 3 minutes.
  
  

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

♦ PHASE 2: Part "D" ♦

Starts once Neamhain's HP drops below x7 (x6 bar shows up). Neit returns once more with the same patterns as previously, but starting with [EVENT] Grand slam! instead of the other event move.

• [EVENT] Grand slam!

  Neamhain evades the battle to enter Neit's core once more. Neit will now prepare for the grand slam, which globally deals massive damage. It can be avoided by either hanging on his "belly"/armor parts (using grab key to catch, same later to let it go) or standing in certain point in the middle.
  
  There is enough time to repair armor (which is adviced) and heal up (if needed) before Neit gets in motion.
  
  Being an "event" move - this will happen only once.
  
  

♦ PHASE 3 ♦

When dropped below x5 (x4 bar shows up), The Goddess takes deep breaths in exhaustion, becoming immune and getting camera focus for a brief moment. [CUTSCENE + EVENT] Extended March plays afterwards.

In this phase heroes have to face both Neit and Neamhain, who play tag - dynamically replacing each other in the battle. The Goddess will be persistent for most of the time, however she will vanish for a single of Neit's attacks duration. Unlike previously, dealing damage on Neit will no longer contribute towards defeating the enemies, but can be still used for obtaining SP, on hit effects or life stealing.

Neamhain patterns are extended, but also shortened by Turn Sweep. Neit instead will often move around the battlefield harmlessy (Relocation and sweepless Dive), limiting himself to: Claw Strike, Shortened All-In (pulls off faster), Shortened March (also pulls off faster) and the two new patterns presented below.

It is advised to use Armor Temporary Repait Kit before the cutscene begins, to have your armor in best condition afterwards.

• [CUTSCENE + EVENT] Extended March

  Neamhain breathes heavily, drops her helmet on the floor, unrevealing her face. She then corrects her hair, smiling evilly as she empowers her lance, enraging Neit simultaneously. As soon cutscene ends, extended march attack begins.
  
  Extended march is the same as regular March, but Neit remains for longer and does not deal damage when pulling back. After the march ends, Neamhain emerges from Neit. She strikes a fixed location between the center and place where Neit's claws were just now, dealing damage on impact and creating a ring, which is detonated as she pulls her weapon off the ground.
  
  

  
  
  
• Extended Drill

  Basically the same attack from Phase "2B", but creates 2 shock waves in addition. First one is created on collision, another upon rolling/drilling.
  
  

  
  
  
• [SPECIAL] Bend the knee (1 hit KO / OHKO)

  Neamhain evades the battle. As she disappears, Neit emerges from the liquid, roaring and taking camera focus for a while. After that, he swings with his claws from left and right, reaching big part of the battlefield, then again left, but this time at smaller reach. Briefly after this, he strikes with his back spikes at the edges of the battlefield and his left claw around the middle. Lastly, he slams both claws around center and strikes with back spikes again, slightly closer to middle than previously.
  
  Getting hit by any of these attacks applies Infection, leading to certain death on the end. Depending if anyone was hit, Neamhain will either have camera focus on her and strike the middle, or strike random target from the air if there was no victim.
  
  Being a "special" attack, it can happen only once per 5 minutes.
  
  

  
  
  
• Spin to win / Whirl of Doom

  Neamhain rotates her lance vertically and touches the ground with it's back, creating a purple wave. As that happens, she disappears for brief moment to reappear nearby a target location, then focus a random target (can be different) by whirling towards it, eventually thrusting forward.
  
  Getting hit by the purple wave applies Striking. Getting hit by attacks that comes next will end up in special animation, leading to certain death of first target that has been hit. If there's a victim, everyone else will be also affected with Striking.
  
  

  
  
  
• [CUTSCENE] Ending

  Neit becomes dizzy as his master is exhausted of all the fighting. The Hero catches up and hangs on the Crab's armor, taking a ride to nearby island with the Pillar of Corruption. Using his last strength, he tried to hit running Hero, but fails and then completely drained out of power - drows in the water. Neamhain recovers, starts whirling while airborn, charging towards the Hero. As that happens, Fragarach appears from thin air, getting stuck in the ground nearby the Hero, who picks it and deflects The Goddess' lance on contact. Lastly, the Hero charges and impales the sword into the core of the Pillar of Corruption, shattering it into pieces and causing Neamhain to disappear.

♦ Twin Swords Vella reactions ♦

Twin Swords Vella reactions to the patterns based on my ([Europe] Nocatia) experience as non-host (3-4 bars) in full party.
Feel free to ask or discuss things, so I may adjust the guide.

Quick summary:
• ( ) on small and medium gaps (most of Neamhain patterns)
• on big gaps (usually Neit patterns)
• all waves.
• risky/inconsistent attacks, otherwise .
• Peftect is important for some patterns, but try to pull it off as often as You can.
• after an attack begins, rather than before, so You know which attack comes and don't get caught offguard.



Phase 1

• [CUTSCENE] Introduction

  Taking a camp fire buff might be handy to keep your armor fully functional for longer. This is worth trading few coins and 30 seconds, for everyone in the party.
  
  After starting, position yourself in the middle awaiting for an attack, or try rushing him for an extra smash.

• Relocation

  Rush his claws for - before and after relocation.
  
  Claw can be when outgoing or incoming.
  
  If You can't reach him in time - just wait in the center.

• Dive

  Can try rushing his claws for , but might as well ensure You will be in position to deal with the attacks that comes in after he's back. He's likely to appear where most people are, which might be on the opposite side - staying in middle is universal.
  
  the sweep, then depending on your positioning either your way to left and attempt his claw, or right for some more of these.

• Black Hole

  Same as Dive, possibly without the first part. Keep an eye on the black hole and it (both the sphere and the wave it causes).

• Claw Strike

  Position yourself for , then .
  
  High ATKSPD and good ping:
  Otherwise: 1 normal and
  
  what comes next - both the alternate attack and the back spike swing ending.
  
  the claws as they are backing off - first time the one that just attacked, 2 times more on the other one.

• Roar

  on the left.
  
  Then use and (combo order can be reversed if needed).
  
  Touching the claw will make You "melt" through it to outer side - try to stay in the inner part for safe on the next attack, otherwise it's inconsistent and may get You hit.

• All-In

  the claws (apparently there is no benefit from hitting both at once), then .
  
  In this attack You have to dynamically judge how much time You have left, so depending on that and your ATKSPD do following (from highest):
  • 2 normal +
  •
  •
  This is because hits the claws 3 times.
  
  Lastly ensure to be in line with back spike for extra damage with .

• Spikes Strike

  Positioning and timing is what comes in play this move. With very good ping You can everything, but on decent/usual host You will likely get hit by fourth attack (back spikes sweep). To ensure You will survive: stay on right-lower (Crab's direction being upper) part of the center circle, dodging 1st, 2nd and 4th attack, then going closer to him to get out of remaining attacks range. Refer to the video.
  
  Neit can be damaged during this (but it doesn't contribute towards defeat), but be cautious to not get hit by mistake. Lastly, place yourself around the middle for upcoming Neamhain landing strike, unless nobody was hit and she will go towards random target.

One of the samples show exactly why it was so bothersome for a long time, although in that particular case it was somewhat late enough to even get displaced by his non-harmful moves.

Very nice job here, I once thought about doing a similar tutorial, but I lack the required hardware to record smoothly like this.
Regarding the Rookie redeemers buff, I can tell you how it works because I recently started playing Neamhain on my Delia:

-The Rookie Redeemer effect will apply the same everytime you join Neamhain until you complete 5 Clears
-After you die, you'll be unrevivable for about 10 seconds, but then you will instantly revive.
-The above happens 3 times.
-After your 3 Rookie Redeemers stacks get lost, you get back to the regular lives people have, so, the 4th time you die, you can be revived by a player right away.
-The 5th death applies the 8 minute resurrection cooldown, and so does the next.

Also, rookie redeemer's effect seems to cause bugs to Party Revival Feather and Guild Heavenly Feather.

• Black Hole

  you have enough time to hit one of his claws with a mag or rico shot before the black hole lands, then just dodge

• Claw Strike

  go to the back, so your front faceing the claws, you can do what you want here fixed shots/rico shot/mugshot and ofc dodge(dodge grapple if you don't know the timing of the claw)

KingRichRice

♦ Glaive Lynn reactions ♦

Sea of Reflection allows Glaive Lynn to reveal her true potential, evading attacks while building up Swift Assassin marks up to Full Bloom, so set this as your ultimate goal.



Phase 1

• [CUTSCENE] Introduction

  Rush to the claw on your right, using Killer Dart and your enhanced smashes to begin stacking Swift Assassin marks.

• Relocation

  Try your best to remain close to him as he moves while continuing to build up Swift Assassin marks.

• Dive

  Use Little Rat to dodge the claw swing into a Windstep to position yourself near his belly. Continue to stack marks.

• Black Hole

  If you're using a glaive that has a lengthy reach, you may be able to stack a few marks with Flying Guillotine directly on his belly. However. keep an eye out for the sphere. If you happen to the unlucky target, promptly use Thunderleg to evade it when it's close to contact.

• Claw Strike

  Use either Little Rat into Windstep or Thunderleg to dodge the incoming shock wave, while continuing to utilize smashes up to Full Bloom.

• Roar

  Stay under his belly (preferably near his left claw), dodging the incoming shock waves from his claw slam.

• All-In

  As in "Roar," stay under his belly and dodge incoming shock waves. If you're close enough to his belly, his shock waves will fade away and avoid hitting you. If you have 500 SP (two bars), use Long Armed Devil to easily stick marks.

• Spikes Strike

  Rush to the side of the arena, linear to where he will strike his claws and ready your Trans Spear. Use the orange indicator that shows where he will strike his claws to decide whether or not you should throw your spear, 3 indicators being the most optimal.

Phase 2

• [CUTSCENE] The Goddess Descents

  Try to stay close to the center as the cutscene begins.

• The Ring

  Use Little Rat into Windstep and continue your attack sequence. Given that you have enough attack speed, you can usually Little Rat > Windstep > Fishtail Pole > LAD.

• Tracking projectiles

  If you are under Neam when she flies up, stay put and be ready to dodge her strike down. If not, dodge the projectiles first, then dodge her strike.

• Dash and Impale

  Dodge with Thunderleg and avoid being in front of her, as the explosion will deal damage and grant you a debuff.

• Blink and Impale

  Dodge with Little Rat > Windstep, otherwise use Thunderleg.

• Defense

  Immediately stop attacking. If needed, use Thunderleg to get yourself to a safe position.

• Turn Sweep

  Dodge with Little Rat > Windstep or Thunderleg.

• Pirouette with Darts

  Use Little Rat > Windstep or Thunderleg to dodge the incoming swings as well as the darts.

• Darts with Trident Waves

  Use Thunderleg to get out of the darts, and Little Rat > Windstep her Trident Waves.

• Combo with Waves/Impale

  Dodge with Little Rat but avoid using Windstep, or use Thunderleg. Try to stay in front of Neam to avoid wielding her attacks toward other players.

• Full Combo

  As above, use Little Rat or Thunderleg to dodge incoming swings.

• Combo with AOE

  Use Thunderleg to move out of the area. If you happen to be in the orb, use Little Rat to dodge the detonation.

• [EVENT] Drill

  Position yourself at the center, using Little Rat to dodge the claw strike.

• March

  Use Thunderleg to dodge oncoming shockwaves and his claw drag.

• Neit's Might (Red AOE)

  Locate an area where you can use Thunderleg to dodge all 3 attacks. Otherwise, my condolences for your one potion.

• Leaning

  Go to either claw and dodge oncoming shockwaves. When his striking claw is near his main claw, position yourself near both and use LAD to stack multiple marks.

• [EVENT] Neamhain Returns

  Avoid being in the center until she descends. Use Trans spear if not on cooldown.

• [SPECIAL] Wall of Spears / "Gates of Babylon"

  Many variations: my favorite being the Thunderleg > Half-charged Killer Dart. Others include Thunderleg x2, Thunderleg > Iron Monkey > Golden Arm.
  *Will add video soon

• [EVENT] Grand slam!

  Stand at the point in the middle and use a repair kit if needed. Otherwise, climb on his belly and off after the slam.

Phase 3

• [CUTSCENE + EVENT] Extended March

  Use Thunderleg to dodge oncoming shockwaves, then spam L > R on his claw to build SP.

• Extended Drill

  Use Little Rat/Thunderleg to dodge oncoming shock waves.

• [SPECIAL] Bend the knee (1 hit KO / OHKO)

  Use Thunderleg to dodge his swings while nearing his belly, but not directly under.
  *Will add video soon

• Spin to win / Whirl of Doom

  Use Little Rat/Thunderleg to dodge the wave, then use Thunderleg to dodge incoming swings if you are the target.

• [CUTSCENE] Ending

  Trust me, it's not too bad

SirRFI

We should expect arrival of Balor, the second redeemer battle soon (possibly even next patch). With his release in Korea, each completed Neamhain battle started giving 2% instead of 1% in the progress bar. It might be good time to start learning and progress Neamhain for those, who refused doing it so far.

Future updates also merged normal, guild and coupon runs to normal. I think that about the same time "hell mode" was added for both redeemers in Korea. These have much bigger stat requirements and significantly better completion rewards. I've heard that upon completion there's server-wide notification and a title.
While I cannot offer details on it - top geared players had troubles completing the battle in time (60 minutes), so there's that...

SirRFI

WARNING: This guide is outdated.

Since last update, there were changes to patterns making them more easy/forgiving, most attacks are now crosscutable by TS Vella, rewards (both loot and completion) changed and such.

At the time, I started recording footage for Balor, but then I got actual job and never had time or motivation to continue the work. Since then, also Brigid, Laura and Taros were added, each of them eventually had some changes, so guides would require updating.

This guide served it's purpose, but generally Redeemers are not that exclusive content anymore - just hop in a "FFA" party and get carried.
